Pandora

I know its not fair to judge entire series by just one episode but if this is the kind of acting and direction we going to get for rest of the season then i am probably done right now. I found it hard to finish the first episode. Pandora is dead on arrival.

I hate to pile on with the other negative reviews but I have to agree, this series was BAD. The premise was old and predictable, I found no connection or liability in the characters, and the effects were on par with a made for TV movie. 5 minutes in and I was already regretting my decision to watch it. The best thing I can say about this show was that at least it was in English, so if that meets your criteria then watch it, otherwise I would skip it and save yourself the hassle.

I really wanted to like this show but after only a few minutes, I wanted to switch to something else. Cheap special effects, stiff acting, lousy script, poor production value...need I say more. It was torture forcing myself to watch the full episode but I wanted to be fair before I wrote this review. Would be surprised if this isn't cancelled after just a few episodes.

My first complaint is the acting its subpar, it feels to me like a Teen Series at best you better watch far from superior shows like The expanse or Dark matter.

2 the story: it is very basic for a first episode, not memorable, and nothing that seems really good enought to want me to see a second episode.

3- the Chemistry between the characters is a big zero to me. it feels artificial, charisma of characters is just not there, they need someone like at least for a main character thats gonna pull up the rest of the cast and im not seeying it here.

its like one of my buddy says if a character "X" dies and u would care? if u say no what does that tell u about the character ?? he or she feels insignificant... well thats how i feel with these characters.

4- the special FX, they feel like an old scifi from the 90s series on a very low budget. If only they had made em alot better i would understand and think; oh they put all the money into FX and invested zero into story telling or charismatic actors but thats not even the case here.

i might force myself to watch a second episode but my expectation very low.

Cgi & special effects are about par with other sci-fi shows, dialogue, characters & general storyline are pretty sub par, awful posh English accents, chuck in the usual silly soap opera garbage with the high school drama codswallop & you've got a pretty boring silly TV show, barely any characters are interesting or likeable, sets, clothes & doritos!!! all make it look like a cheap 80s TV show, really can't see who would be interested in this, ignore the idiot reviewers stating they know what sci-fi is, regardless of genre if the writing is good & the story & plot is handled well then it's worth watching,sadly this has none of those ingredients.
